Yeah, I'm kind of sick of this stuff myself. Do folks really think people have junker cars in the yard because their esthetic sense is lacking? Hell, no--they do it because they're parting the damn things out. They're trying to save a buck.
By the way, aren't quonset huts beautiful? Oh, and when I've got Doug out to Oklahoma to see the churches of Tulsa, I'll take him up to Eureka Springs to get a gander at Thorncrown Chapel--I was there last week for a wedding, and it's still as beautiful as it ever was.
All the best,
